WT are rich because of a fanbase that force the hand of networks giving more than a line share of free to air games, merchandising through the roof. The youngins of the 80's are statistically at an age where disposable income is the highest. They cashed in on their Putney to Balmain waterside properties and Rozelle to Glebe city dwellings and like me happily spent $70 a seat to a trial game and $95 for a polo shirt each year. Whilst the MacArthur region is massive it's poor, low socioeconomic, the crowds show that. Consistently poor. Remember we literally bought Scott Fulton to get the Fainu's. That's like buying the dealership to get the car. Stinking Rich on black and gold money

Thats funny.

I thought most of the wealth is derived from Wests Ashfield pokies and the predominantly Asian players who play them and land values........connected to the former black & gold and black & white cohorts rising house prices.
 
Mate I was one of those people, purchased my first house in Birchgrove for 40 grand in the early eighties…but I will travel anywhere to see my team win and I am more than happy with LO and Cambo the way they are at present but I get it that Iam a fossil and people today want more out of a stadium

When I was in Arizona and Utah - fossils were precious commodities.

Incorrect black gold and white like you said are putting all their money in the pokies. Pokies money from West's goes to all of their share holdings, merchandising and sponsorship go straight to the club. Besides the house'os of the western suburbs don't spend on tickets and merch, crowd figures back that up

Can we get a petition going or march on the Town Hall steps to demand both Leichhardt Oval and Campbelltown Stadium are both renovated ti become 25,000 seat stadiums ?
Wests Tigers United, will never be defeated.
